Deutz unveils new 9 L diesel engine

22 November 2016

At Bauma China 2016, DEUTZ has unveiled the new TCD 9.0 diesel engine—the first in a new generation of engines that DEUTZ is planning as part of the recently announced alliance with the Liebherr Group. The Liebherr-made engines will be sold by DEUTZ under its own brand.

The TCD 9.0 is a four-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of nine litres. The DEUTZ’s Chinese joint venture—DEUTZ (Dalian) Engine (DDE)—will manufacture the TCD 9.0 under licence to serve the local market. The engine has a power rating of 300 kW and produces 1,700 Nm of torque. It features a compact design that makes it particularly well suited for excavators and wheel loaders, said DEUTZ.

Under the Liebherr alliance, the TCD 9.0 will be followed by six-cylinder diesel engines. The engines will utilize a standardized concept with a common customer interface and a high proportion of shared parts, and will be distributed via DEUTZ’s global network of dealers and service outlets.

The new engines are being developed for the EU Stage V, US Tier 4, China IV and EU Stage IIIA emission standards and will be ready to go into series production in 2019. Emission downgrade versions will also be available, meaning a single engine platform can be used both for Stage V markets and for regions with more relaxed regulations.
